Space Missions: Architecture

Scientific paper

So far architects were mainly working with the organisation of singular project-flows and their integration into the space mission system. The emerging tourism is changing the view of our society concerning space missions. Up to now they have been always seen as high-technologized and scientific performances but in the future more and more humans will be able to participate in trips into space which will become part of our every day life. Within this paradigm-shift the role of the space-architect changes as well. By investigating into design concepts of space habitats new key issues will be found and through their interpretation a change of the designing process takes place. That creates a new context for space architecture. For a successful accomplishment of a space mission, it not only requires, that the engineering secures the safety issues, but it also requires a specific and distinct design of the technological space, which is also characterised by a distinguished atmosphere, designed by incorporating issues such as light, material, texture and colour.
